In Singapore a lot of people think Switzerland and Sweden are the same country, like US and America are synonyms.

In part it's because Europe is simply too far away, but another reason is that the names sound similar when pronounced with Chinese patterns of speech: Swiss-len and Swidd-en.

I'm in Singapore and eat out every meal. Lots of places started having QR menus after Covid and I hate it. I never knowingly go to a QR place, but sometimes I go somewhere new and forget to check.

Luckily there's a strong correlation between having QR menus and having poor service, so I could continue going to most of my favorite places.
